They need a senate majority or Mitch is likely to just leave the seat vacant and have a 6-2 conservative majority court instead of a 6-3

Idk if the Reps would risk leaving the court at 8 people for 4 whole years.

They openly talked about doing this if Hillary had won.

They have no reason to not to since they're packing the lower courts as well. Supreme Court going 4-4 doesn't matter if the lower court already produced the result you want.

Biden can do the tacit compliance thing.

Obama could have done it too but thought it would be overreaching.

why aren't there any mechanisms to force a vote?

did no one ever think of just not voting before 2016? McConnell cited precedent but that was b.s.

At that point it would be entirely fair if folks made Mitchs life a hell. Every goddamn second of the day he should be asked about the Supreme Court nomination.

Before 2016 it was generally expected that the Republicans weren't like, actually evil. Sure they want stuff thats not great for the average American, but they're still following the rules, right?

And apparently they didn't have to play along for so long.
